Does dry-brushing really do anything...

...other than create static? Sure, you can sweep up visible debris, but is it the visible debris that creates the ticks and pops? I've given up the carbon fiber brush, and if the records begins to collect more visible debris than I care, I'll drop it back in the Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner.

Has anyone else given up on the dry brush?

I quit using a dry brush quite a while back. I make sure that all records played on the table have had a complete cleaning. Another thing I do, and I believe it's probably a neglected chore for many of us, is to regularly clean the platter mat.

I don't get any accumulation of dust on the stylus, so I assume I'm doing OK.
